The community tourism and thermalism office is offering a “Compostela Weekend” on March 28th and 29th, 2026.
For several years, the community tourism office has been organizing its traditional “Compostela Hike” from Livinhac-le-Haut, marking the arrival of spring. The 2026 edition, on Saturday, March 28th, will have a special flavor.
Participants in this edition will be guided on the famous GR 65 – Saint-Jacques-de-Compostela route (Via Podiensis) between the charming chapel of Guirande in the town of Felzins and Livinhac-le-Haut, a town labeled as “Stopover Towns – Compostela Trails in France”. The selected route covers 9 km.
“On this section, hikers can admire along the mythical pedestrian route, walked every season by thousands of pilgrims: the cross of the 3 bishops, the Vivre Seule refuge artwork, the street art works of Livinhac-le-Haut, not to mention the magnificent views of the surrounding landscape,” said Magali Soubiroux, director of the community tourism and thermalism office.
Practical information: At the end, a snack will be offered to the walkers. And in partnership with the La Strada cinema, participants in the hike will also be offered a ticket by the tourism office for the premiere of the film “Compostela” at La Strada on the following day.
Mandatory registration with the tourism and thermalism office: 05 65 63 06 80 (Cransac-les-Thermes office) or 05 65 43 18 36 (Decazeville office). Meeting at 1:30 pm at the Livinhac-le-Haut gymnasium (next to the stadium). Free event.
“Compostela”, a film shot in Occitanie:
The weekend continues on Sunday, March 29th, at 5 pm, with the premiere screening at the La Strada cinema in Decazeville of the brand new film by Yann Samuell “Compostela” starring Alexandra Lamy and the young actor Julien Le Berre. The scenario is inspired by a true story: Fred, a woman with a troubled past, and Adam, a teenager in trouble, are offered a second chance by a judge: to walk together the pilgrimage of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostela. This long journey by foot becomes a human and introspective test where, as the kilometers pass, their differences clash, bonds are formed, and each one discovers an unexpected strength within themselves to rebuild and move forward in life. The film, shot notably in Occitanie, highlights the beauty of the historic route and the transformative impact of walking.
